This chapter is a little... raunchy so read with caution.

I felt I had to write it though because it does happen in the TV series. I edited out any bad stuff. 😉😉

Fireworks of bright blue were shot from outside the palace.

Inside, Francis' sister danced her wedding dance with her new husband and everyone chatted in the large ball room, watching the couple.

Lola looked at them and thought of herself in Collins' arms. But where was he?

She glanced around and saw him pick up two wine glasses filled to the brim.

Lola looked on with hurt and jealousy as he walked to Mary and not to her.

"Your grace. Beautiful evening, is it not?" he asked Mary.

Lola's thoughts were interrupted when Greer strode over to her.

"Why aren't you with Collin?" she smiled.

Lola nodded towards them just as Collin knelt lowly and kissed Mary's hand.

"What's he doing with Mary?" Greer asked.

Lola paused, a scowl on her face.

"She's his queen. He's just paying his respects."

All the time she wanted to stab Mary for letting Collin kiss her hand.

"Let's raise a glass. To the happy couple!" Collin said.

Mary smiled at how kind he was.

"Ah!" she sighed and brought the wine to her lips but stopped short.

But don't drink the wine.

It was the voice from earlier. Warning her.

Her superstitions got the best of her even though she knew it was probably nothing.

Collin didn't realise she hadn't drank it, he was too busy looking into Lola's hurt eyes from across the room.

Mary put the glass down careful on the side.

She smiled around the room joyfully before meeting Lola's glaring eyes which had landed on hers after Collin's.

"Oh Lola. No," she murmured, suddenly realising what Lola probably thought.

"Hayleigh, I want to go dance," she quickly said, thinking of a way to hopefully amend Lola's thoughts.

Hayleigh looked confused.
"You can't dance alone."

Mary ignored her and ran to the others with Hayleigh on her heels.

"Lola come dance with me! Come on everyone! Take off your shoes!"

Kenna had appeared and giggling they all unclasped their shoes, Lola's upset momentarily forgotten in the music whilst, confused, she followed her queen's orders.

They laughed and Mary pulled them all to the dance floor as a new song came on.

Francis stood to the side, confused to the clamour of girls doing god knows what.

He looked on with shock and when he saw Mary dancing he wanted to be there with with her. Francis felt jealousy for the other girls.

Mary and her gaggle of girls all grabbed hands in the middle of the room, in a circle and started skipping around.

The whole room was silent, staring. All that could be heard was their giggles.

The king hungrily watched them. His gaze centring upon the beautiful Kenna.
